Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 It sounds typical. Psychiatrists have unshakeable faith in their medecines. Its possible Lexapro is giving you more anxiety although maybe your pdoc isnt considering you as one of a minority of people who have adverse reactions to it. Normally pdocs discount increased anxiety over things that we are experiencing/feeling but are not fully aware of, if that makes sense. I mean your doctor is probably assuming your increased anxiety is coming from somewhere else, he may or may not be right, but his response is typical of pdocs, just up the meds....goes back to their unshakeable belief in the effectiveness of meds. pdoc today > > today I saw my pdoc and complained of increased anxiety and suggested it was > the lexapro.....he said no and increased it from 10mg to 20mg. > Does this sound sensable to anyone? > R > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 It really could be breakthrough anxiety as opposed to anxiety caused by the meds. Since you're been on lex for 4 months, the initial side effects should be long gone. Perhaps lexapro isn't working for you. Maybe your doc can switch you over to something else. > > today I saw my pdoc and complained of increased anxiety and > suggested it was > > the lexapro.....he said no and increased it from 10mg to 20mg. > > Does this sound sensable to anyone? > > R > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
